Heart Appliqued Leggings (No-Sew)

My Missy had ripped a hole in one of the knees of her denim colored leggings. Rather than toss them out, why not add a little heart applique to patch the rip? It’s a perfectly sweet addition to the leggings for Valentine’s day, but really, hearts are cute any time of the year! Best of all this project takes very little time and is no-sew!

Step 2: Measure the area where you will put the applique. (Mine was 3 3/8 inches wide by 3 inches tall.)

Step 3: Draw and cut out a 2 hearts to fit your measurement.

Step 4: Apply the EZ Steam according to package directions and cut out the hearts.

Step 5. Iron the hearts to the fabric. (Follow directions on the package)

Step 6. (optional) Use embroidery floss and sew around the edge of the heart.

This step adds about 30 minutes to the project if you’re using store bought leggings. (Having to work in and out of the legs is more time consuming that a flat piece of fabric.) But it make a huge difference in how they look. The red stitches added a fabulous extra pop of color. (I recommend it if you have the time and supplies on hand- you can get it done during one episode of your fave TV show.)

What do you think, kind of makes you want to go add hearts to everything doesn’t it?

This is such a cute idea and what a great solution! I remember ripping holes in the knees of all my tights when I was a kid. It never failed… My mom would get me a new pair, and I'd wear them to school and inevitably fall on the playground. lol This is definitely a cute fix! Thanks so much for sharing at Inspire Me Wednesday. Featuring you in this week's issue.
